MADRID.-clocks ahead one hour and shall, at 02.00 in the morning on Sunday, will be 3.00, which starts the so-called "summer time."
This change represents a savings electricity consumption per household of six euros (90 million euros), according to estimates by the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDEA), which brings the total savings in lighting at 300 million. Of that amount, 210 billion going to the tertiary sector buildings and industry.
To achieve these savings, the IDEA, however, recommend conducting a responsible behavior at home at the time of dispensing with artificial lighting when not needed, as well as the use of efficient technologies in industrial buildings and others.
Since the early twentieth century many countries have taken the decision to advance the official time in sixty minutes during the months with as much light to rationalize electricity consumption. This has led to the suspicion of some sectors of society on the grounds that physical and psychological impact on humans, but studies so far consider the changes produced are mild and transient. The European Community
officially adopted DST in 1977 with the aim of adapting the social and economic activities to natural light cycle and thus alleviate the energy crisis. In this respect the European directive 2000/84/EC sets the period of summer time begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October, in both cases to the one in the morning GMT (universal time), indefinitely from 2002 onwards. Spain
In the period of daylight saving time starts on the last Sunday in March each year at two in the morning, when the official time is advanced sixty minutes, and ends the last Sunday of the month October of each year to three hours of the morning, when it is delayed sixty minutes.
